I am not sure about you, but the more knowledge I acquire, the more I realize I don't know. With all this knowledge, am I actually any wiser? Sometimes I still try to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible and don't stop to notice the moments of happiness along the way. I remember a poem called The Dash by Linda Ellis that spoke about the fact that our lives are actually lived between our birth and death dates, so we should live as fully as possible.
For me, it has gotten to the point that "knowledge" sometimes closes off all other possibilities. I used to have to know "why" about everything <I must have been a very annoying child>. But now, sometimes I choose not to know because as soon as I think I am sure of something, it changes. Ironically, sometimes my dream state and world of visualization seem more real than my reality, but that has been true for many years.
Lately I have started a practice of focusing on the space between the points where choice is always possible and the edges are blurred. It feels that in that space, there is less of a need for labeling and evaluating right from wrong or good vs bad. There is more of a possibility of sensing and feeling what is right in the moment for me. I like it here … it is exciting and kinder and more gentle. There are no sharp edges or absolutes … only endless possibilities ...
